Speaker 2 (00:32):
Great Good Day.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
This is so interesting. So there's been a lot of
talk about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt over the last
couple of months because finally, after nearly ten years of
bitter feuding, they have finalized their divorce. And one of
the people who has come out in the chat about
this couple is Jennifer Aniston. Of course, was married to
Brad Pitt for five years back in the early two thousands.
(00:57):
Her best friend Courtney Cox from Friends Right, and she
has revealed something that no one ever really knew. At
the time of their divorce. There was speculation that Brad
and Angelina had fallen in love on the set of
Mister and Missus Smith.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It seems so obvious if you saw that movie and
they were, you know, their husband and wife on it,
and you're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You get it.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You make that movie together, you're all in love.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And they have admitted, both of them that they did
have feelings for each other. But what has been revealed
by Courtney, who is Jennifer's best friend is that it
wasn't an affair that broke up that relationship. It was
that Brad Pitt was brutally honest with Jennifer Aniston and said,
I've started to have feelings for someone else.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's the Jennifer Anderson that was to his wife.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Okay, so doing it fair.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I didn't do anything, yes, but there is chemistry and
as you said, if you watch the film, you can
clearly see that, yes, I have feelings for this woman.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
My question at the time is the most beautiful wman
on the.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
For options.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So my question to you is if your partners came
back to you today and said, I've got feelings for
someone at work, what would you do?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well? Yeah, to me, that just means like, I got feelings,
And the only way you get feelings is if you
hang out, you do all that stuff. Like they did
a movie together. Yeah, so they hung out a lot,
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Would you leave the relationship? Would you call it clicks?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, because then it's just like, well, you love someone else,
so it's done.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Even though there was no physical touching and there was
this he's saying, I've started to.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Have just let you know, and that's where we are.
So there's really no point.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You would get up and walk away.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, what's the point in trying if you've got feels
for someone else?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I reckon you can pull up from there. I think
I disagree. I think I could go. I could say, listen,
what did I hang on?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What have you done physically? Nothing? Okay, but but you've
got feelings. Okay, Well let's just get him out of
your life.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So quit your job.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, quit your job.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I work somewhere else, obviously, but we can, we can
out of this. If they didn't quit their job, well, no,
you don't want them hanging out with them all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, that's not okay, that's what I think.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, yeah, okay, So let me ask you about the
department or something.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I'm not trying to bring up old wounds, but I'm
going to bring up old womans. Your first marriage, you
were cheated on? Yes, if your first wife had said.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
That to you, yeap, No, I think because I remember,
actually I do remember her having a She got a friend,
a male friend, and this is not the person that
she had the affair with, And they did have a
full on They spend a lot of time together. They
had a real connection and I remember him even him
getting drunk one time and go, hey, I just want
(03:57):
to let you know I'll never do anything. And I
was like, yeah, that's cool. But in my mind's like,
why you're telling me this.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
There's a line crossing.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But I didn't you know, I guess that was a
warning sign. But I didn't have a problem with that because, well,
nothing's happened. You guys are enjoying each other's company and
that's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh so this brings me to the next point, because
Courtney Cox went on to say, I don't think he
started in a physical affair, but I think he was
attracted to her. There was a connection, and he was
honest about that with Jen. Most of the time when
people are attracted to other people, they don't tell. At
least he was honest about it. Yeah, now that is
(04:36):
my question.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
But then I've getting divorced and then he ended up
marrying her, and.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Then they ended up in a really bitter and nasty divorce. Yes, yes,
but maybe the question here is is honesty in a
relationship the best policy?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Always?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Is? It?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Always?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Is?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
It?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Always?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
The best policy. Oh my goodness, thirteen one oh six
five you can be totally anonymous? Yes, please, I want
to hear when someone has been really honest.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Did it work in your favor or did it work
against you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You should have lied to me about that.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
One thirteen one six fives our numbers?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Is honesty always the best policy? Megan of Clayfield, what
do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
It is, Honestly it is. I've been in both situations,
well sort of. In November, I just broke up with
my partner and it wasn't because of anybody else. I
just didn't I'm not in love with him anymore, and
I didn't want to. Yeah, so I was brutally honest
and said to him, don't I don't love you anymore.
(05:42):
I care for you as a friend, but I'm not
in love with you. It's best when you deserve better. Yeah,
Meg has a train, I said, compared to my ex
husband who cheated on me, and that was a horrible split.
This we're still friends, we still talk, we're still amicable,
(06:05):
and there's it's so much better to be brutally honest
and much.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Better, much kinder just to say I'm not in love
with you anymore rather than cheating and doing all the
other stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, okay, I love the anonymousis. Oh yes, this is
going to be a good story.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Attached Tello my friend Hello. Is honesty always the best
policy on Yes.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
So I have been a relationship for a long time,
sixteen years, and early on in the relationship, I look,
I have a lot of issues that I needed to
work through from previous relationships, and then I did develop
feelings for somebody else. I wrote to my partner about it.
(06:53):
I didn't distance myself from that person, and we worked
very hard on it. I worked. I did a lot
of work on myself, and you know the reasons why
I had issues with relationships in the past, and will
you managed to work through it? And we've been together
for sixteen years? Wow, that was fourteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So you can you can't pull out of it if
you had that conversation and say, listen, nothing happened but emotionally,
but you you actually were able to fall back in love.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Yeah, absolutely, and we have been fantastic every since.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Can I ask you? Does he ever bring it up?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Right, So he literally drew a line in the sand,
jumped over it, and that was it.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah. Wow, we said you've got to like, if we're
going to work through this, we need to be all in.
And that was both of us. I knew I had
a lot of stuff to work on, so I did
that separately, and then we worked on our relationship together
and then, Yeah, it hasn't been an issue since then,
it hasn't come up.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Have you forgiven yourself?
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Yeah? Yeah, I would never do that again. And I'm
a different person now of fourteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And what about old mate that you caught the feelings
for You're working seeing him anymore? No, okay, that's it's
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Better take yourself out of that situation, is possible,
